     I downloaded the package Python 2.5.1-2.  I then started to install that package but was running another instance of cygwin and had to cancel the installation.  I then killed the cygwin window and ran setup.exe to try to install Python.  However I get an error that "setup.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." and I can't get past it.  I've tried rebooting and even downloaded the Python package a second time, but it won't let me install Python.  I'm able to install other packages, just not python.  I've tried 5-6 times and it ends the same way each time (badly).  Is there any recourse other than removing my entire Cygwin installation and then trying again?  I really don't want to do that.

Thanks,
Brent
